Sept. 12, 2018 - Allow Extra Commute Time for Expected Delays


MESA COUNTY- Motorists can expect a major traffic switch tomorrow morning, Thursday, Sept. 13, as traffic will begin to use the permanent roundabout configuration at the intersection of CO 340 (Broadway) and Redlands Parkway.

CDOT and contractor Elam Construction will be completing Phase 3 and beginning the final phase of the new roundabout.  In an effort to prepare the intersection for the final traffic switch, crews will be working expeditiously Wednesday night to remove the existing traffic control devices in the northwest quadrant.

TRAVEL IMPACTS
  • Motorists should allow extra commute time to allow traffic to adjust the new traffic pattern.
  • Roundabout will be a single lane configuration until mid-October.
  • There is a 9 ft. width restriction and no semis allowed 24/7 for the duration of project.
